Today's companies struggle to compete against other globally savvy companies producing products with much lower operating and labor costs. The response has been to outsource everything from call centers to product design and manufacturing. All of these strategies require secure collaboration among various supply chain partners. How do you effectively collaborate with global partners in an accurate and timely manner while protecting corporate intellectual property and the processes and methods that are your competitive advantage?
To be competitive in today's global economy new product introduction processes must be cleansed of inefficiencies, bottlenecks and non-value adding process steps. More importantly, the supply chain must be optimized. In response, many companies are already designing a stage-gate NPI process to eliminate the variance in developing and bringing to market new products within their own company. Compliance to the process over a distributed supply chain becomes quite a challenge raising the importance of project governance. You are not alone.
